It can’t be denied that the planet is warming up. It has been doing so ever since the end of the last ice age. There was a time when glaciers stretched from the north pole down past the Mediterranean touching Africa……. but that was tens of thousands of years ago as I said. Since then we have colonised countries as their climates suited us and now think it is bad form that the temperatures that we are comfortable with are becoming less and less common.
Yes the planet is warming up, ice caps are melting just as they have done before. The Earth has had changing climate patterns for millions of years, not just thousands. I basic terms, when the poles are large ice caps there is less water as a liquid, which leads to less cloud cover which leads to more Sunshine which warms the planet which melts the ice caps which leads to more water and more cloud cover and less sunshine and then cooler temperatures.
For Man to decide that a few carrier bags made from hemp and a handful of low energy light bulbs will be the answer is nothing short of rediculous. The oceans emit more co2 than humans, volcano’s emit more co2 than humans, and cows farting emit more co2 the industrialisation full stop.
What our governments can do however is jump on a taxable bandwagon and milk it for all it is worth. If gas guzzlers were actually going to kill us all they would ban them……. but, how do they make money by banning them? They can’t, but they can tax the “Fat cats” that dare to drive them….. this is kind of bizarre as it is fast becoming an even greater status symbol to own a very highly taxed car.
If the government wanted to actually fix the problem they could be proactive and actually stop us doing harmful stuff……. we all know that if you smoke you will live a shorter life and probably die a mucky cancer related death……. so ban tobacco …… it kills people……. but it is taxable so lets not!
The Kyoto Treaty will only be effect if the whole planet signs up and abides by it. Currently the UK are in danger of creating a small “No Pissing” section in the swimming pool while the rest of the world remains commercially competitive and pollutes to their hearts content.
Plastic bags in the Uk represent less than 0.2% of landfill refuse and most of that is as a reused bin bag themselves so if they tax them or outlaw them we the public will just have to buy purpose made binbags…. with purpose build landfill tax already included.
We are being scammed by the whole global warming situation. Yes the planet is warming, but thinking we will stop the rise in temperature by using energy efficient Light bulbs althought they won’t do any harm. We may as we decide that we want to make the world spin the other way round, because we can’t make it do that either! Unless we all turn off all the power stations, our heating, stop using our cars, stop rearing cows to eat and cross our fingers no volcano’s erupt we are going to make very little difference through the pointless token jestures that the government has so far implemented.
Deeho Search engine Optimisation believe that the future of the planet lies in technology and using it to overcome problems that we can’t fix.
These my friends are the words of Ghengis.
James Allen? Why……?
May 25, 2008Of all the commentators, experts or even enthusiastic amateurs, why on earth would you choose to have James Allen commentating on Formula 1? He clearly knows very little about the sport, or cars in general judging by half of the inane comments he makes. At least back in the day, Muddley Talker has some personality and energy in his comments. Ok, so factually he was just as pointless, but it does beg the question who gives out top jobs to blatantly unsuitable muppets?
I feel compelled to watch each Grand Prix as I have done ever since I got sucked into the sport by my Father as a boy, but I suspect along with most of the nation I am getting hacked off by that useless twat droning on about the wrong driver in the wrong car, and why modern cars have a wheel at each corner.
This is a high tech sport, the majority of the viewers appreciate someone who is capable of stringing together a coherent sentence about what is actually on the fucking screen instead of whatever dumbass thought entered the vacuum where his brain ought to reside. I saw a chap at the BTCC meeting at Donnington earlier this month wearing a “James Allen must be stopped” T shirt…….. says it all really.
I can only shudder to think who we will get next as F1 moves back to the BBC…… Jade Goody?……. Janet Street Porter?………… Fern Britten? I daren’t suggest any more as I am probably just giving the daft fuckers ideas! ………. Oh……. how about that daft old bat who had five minutes of fame not being able to pass her driving test 40 odd times? Bound to be first choice?!
In a world of dumbing down, I think the sooner the powers that be dumb up and sack James Allen the better. MotoGP is much better racing, with commentators who know their sport and have tongues connected to their brains.
No disrespect intended to Martin Brundle, who always does a great job of delivering the information that the other twat is incapable of.
